Clearly how they want to run it.

And according to wiki one career goal and one assist. At 23, he's either becoming a late developer or he's just not that good...and he won't cost much more than £400k up front. Has to be heavily clause based/future profit to get anyway North of £800k This is clearly a data signing because nothing in his regular stats/game time/highlight reel suggest to me he's the dynamic box to box midfielder we want. On the plus side, he adds height, doesn't take up a special permit place, knows the league and speaks the lingo so that part ticks the boxes. As a bit if a dinosaur when it comes to the data approach (give me the Brian Clough approach any day), I'll watch the lad with interest. If he turns out to be a good find, I will stand corrected and hail the data!

We all said he'd be back. Most people just thought they would leave it till the end of the window before sneaking him in. You know, after a semi-positive signing. But no. The fact he's being touted as a a 'signing' is hilarious. They're openly taking the piss at Ewood.

Not bothered by his admission. Let's not think the club for one minute didn't want to cash in on him either and wouldn't want him injured... it's like the 'not available due to injury' line before a player sold. Always gave it on the pitch. That is what counts.

Chaddy, the Belgian lad we signed is equivalent to us signing a lower league 2 player. He may be quick. He will certainly have flaws. He will most certainly be peanuts to buy and on a small wage. Woohoo

Hedges is awful whichever side he plays on. Creates next to nothing. If he's the answer on the right (and he hasn't been in the 3 yrs we've had him) we are fecked.

Does this lad qualify for a work permit or is he using up one of the allocated 4 'allowed' slots?

As far as I can tell, the owners haven't put money in for a significant period of time. ST targets won't be met. No matchday revenue. So where is any money for transfers coming from? Unless there's a Wharton sell on windfall at some stage, there isn't any. As others have said, we can't get contract extensions done with our better players. For the sake of a few thousand extra on the wage bill, we will no doubt lose 20 times that in transfer fees - when they leave for cheaper fees or free. Penny pinching with no foresight at all. I imagine we will pick up some out of contract random player from the Luxembourg league and a freebie 17 yr old kid loan by the start of pre season. Then it will be the late August scramble if we have managed to sell 2 or 3 by then. Happy 150 Rovers. You can't run a club like this. Fifteen years FFS .

The only one of the 'experienced players' we will miss in my opinion. Better terms should have been sorted by January. Can't imagine we can afford or will offer anywhere near what he'll get at other clubs on the back of the season he's had.

Says it all. Brittain is decent. Better going forward than defensively but also picks up knocks/strains regularly... and he's our best player. Whoop.

Double post

Those 3 I'm assuming.

and hopefully it swings across the board.

Had a chat with someone today. Told Venkys aren't looking to sell but not happy with those running the club. Waggott the first but not expected to be the last. Also alluded - as most had worked out - that the current leadership did not want promotion.

Fair chance Gestede is next.

Forshaw, Hedges, Weiman need to go.

They fit the 'shit' category.!

The fact he wants to retain Hedges and Forshaw gives a good indication of our prospects under hin next season.

I'd off load Hyam while we still get a fee. Better defenders than him about as Baatth has proved. Only players I think we would miss are: Brittain Batth Travis Tronstadt Useful to have around: Ribeiro Cantwell (in case he clicks) Ohashi Gueye potentially Kargbo. After that, I'm struggling to think of any of the current squad we would miss.

Pretty close. Look at the significant investment in Jan. Woodrow, Kargbo, Dennis. How many goals and assists from them? Shite. Venkys out

On the manager this. What is he waiting for ffs.

Subs on ffs. All over the place here. Got to go for it

oh man

In the league was it Brereton?

Dolan back to being shit.
